My love for Aviation blossomed at a young age and like many kids, I wanted to be a pilot. However, as time went on my desire shifted to a different, more detail-oriented job and after discovering Aircraft Dispatch, I was hooked. After graduating high school in 2019, and working a few part-time jobs, I dedicated my time and effort to college. Specifically, I worked towards obtaining my Aircraft Dispatcher License through Green River College's Program for Aircraft Dispatcher Training. As of March 29th, 2024, I am a Certified Aircraft Dispatcher. One of my best achievements was during my final FAA exam to obtain my license. After my Instructor told me that I had passed, he showed me a list he had made over the past 30+ years of administrating Dispatcher exams to students. The list was labeled "Dispatchers that impressed me" and on that list were 20 or so names. He told me how the names on this list were students that impressed him during their exams, with the students who had impressed him the most being at the top of the list. To my absolute amazement, my name was at the top of this list. We talked about the specifics of why I was placed where I was and, to this day, this is one of my greatest achievements because of all the self-doubt and worry that I carried with me prior to the test. Outside of work, I enjoy writing, reading, and doing lots of outside activities. These include snow skiing, mountain biking, hiking, swimming, and more. One of my favorite books of all time is called; "Fate Is The Hunter" by Ernest K. Gann, a book about the thrilling and often treacherous early days of commercial aviation which I have recommended to anyone interested in the industry. I've lived my whole life in Spokane, WA, but wouldn't be opposed to moving outside the state for work. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. Fly Safe, Connor T. Irvin
